Premieres on DVD/Blu-Ray

Секретариат - конят легенда (Secretariat) - This horse racing drama moved past our cinemas and perhaps for a reason. Still has one or two merits, Diane Lane included - **1/2

Пътешествията на Гъливер (Gulliver's Travels) - Hollywood has f*cked up yet another classic, no surprises here *

Път с предимство (Due Date) (DVD&BD) - A failed attempt to repeat the Hangover success. It's a date you'd better skip. **

Черен лебед (Black Swan) - A true masterpiece for the new decade. Haunting! *****

Сексът и градът 2 (Sex and the City 2) (DVD&BD) - It's awful and I liked it! Blame me! ***

Мачете (Machete) - Danny Trejo makes the role of Machete his own. Great fun but not for the easily offended. ****

Убийствен пъзел: Последната глава (Saw: The Final Chapter) (DVD/BD) - Thank Hollywood it's the last chapter! **

Хари Потър и Даровете на смъртта - част 1 (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - part 1) - A step back in terms of excitement but never has a franchise been so consistent in quality. ****

Лов на дребни хищници - A Bulgarian title on DVD! Not so good though! ***

New on Blu-Ray 

Най-дългият ден (The Longest Day) - A war-themed classic, star-stuffed with John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Sean Connery and more ****

Звукът на музиката (The Sound of Music) - The hills are still alive & you know I'm fan of Austria, so no surprises here - *****

Tandem

В брой / Cash - Boromir meets Thor, just watch Game of Thrones instead! **
